Precarious Balance

$85.00 – $205.00

This collaged monoprint was inspired by many plein air sessions on the Nanaimo River. I love watching birds and am impressed by people who balance stones along the shore. It occurred to me that the stones could be a metaphor for human relationship to nature. It is clear that this beautiful and necessary balance is becoming more and more precarious. I hope this piece inspires others to consider their balance with nature.

Hornby Island Profile

A friend gave me a photo that she took while walking at Helliwell park on Hornby Island. The hillside formation created a striking natural profile, which sparked my imagination. It reminded me of a profile of mother earth peacefully watching over creation. This piece is a lithograph, done with stencils and oil based inks in the print studio. I hope that it has captured the sense of peace that this Island seems to embody.
